Like the BRZ and WRX concept, the Legacy concept features horseshoe-shaped LED accent lights around the “hawk eye” headlights. Though similar in shape to the WRX concept, the Legacy concept’s hexagonal grille also features a chrome surround with three horizontal chrome bars. The Legacy concept also has a unique lower grille and air intakes. From the side, we can see the Legacy concept’s sloping greenhouse that gives it more of a coupe-like look. A strong character line runs from just behind the front wheel to the top of the taillights. Flared wheel arches house 21-inch wheels.

Around back, the horseshoe-shaped theme repeats with LED taillights. While the WRX concept featured four large exhaust tips framing the rear splitter, the Legacy concept has two vertical rectangular exhaust tips protruding from the rear bumper. Subaru calls the Legacy concept’s paint Ocean Silver Metallic. The big wheels, slim side mirrors, and lack of door handles are standard concept car fare, and will likely be changed for production.

While Subaru hasn’t announced powertrain options for the next-generation Legacy, we expect the turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-four from the 2014 Subaru Forester, Motor Trend‘s 2014 SUV of the Year, to appear under the hood in some form. Another possible powertrain is a version of the 2011 Subaru Advanced Tourer concept’s hybrid powertrain featuring a turbocharged 1.6-liter flat-four, electric motor, and lithium-ion battery.
